​DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

LUKE 12:31-32

BUT RATHER SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.
FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; FOR IT IS YOUR FATHER’S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM.

KNOW THAT THE LORD WILL SUPPLY ALL OF OUR NEEDS BOTH SPIRITUAL AND NATURAL. NEVERTHELESS, YOU MUST TRAVEL LIGHT IF YOU’RE FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT FOR THE KINGDOM. TRUST IN THE LORD THY GOD WHO IS FAITHFUL TO CHILDREN. CAST ALL OF YOUR BURDENS AND YOUR CARES UPON THE LORD FOR HE CARES FOR YOU. STAY HEAVILY ARMED AND DANGEROUS WITH THE SPIRITUAL TOOLS AND RESOURCES THE LORD HAS PROVIDED. ALL OF THE WEIGHTS AND BURDENS MUST BE LEFT BEHIND FOR SURVIVAL SAKE.
KEEP YOUR SPEAR STRETCHED OUT…FOR HE HAS STRENGTHENED YOUR HANDS

JOSHUA 8:18-19
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO JOSHUA, STRETCH OUT THE SPEAR THAT IS IN THINE HAND TOWARD AI; FOR I WILL GIVE IT INTO THINE HAND, AND JOSHUA STRETCHED OUT THE SPEAR THAT HE HAD IN HIS HAND TOWARD THE CITY.
AND THE AMBUSH AROSE QUIKLY OUT OF THEIR PLACE, AND THEY RAN AS SOON AS HE HAD STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND: AND THEY ENTERED INTO THE CITY, AND TOOK IT, AND HASTED AND SET THE CITY ON FIRE.
HAVE A JOYOUS DAY IN THE LORD AND MAY GOD KEEP YOU

Now more than ever as much of the children of God suffer troubles and affliction, there is a desire for unity and to know one's history. We research history and one's geneology  desiring to know how we became who we are and how we can trace roots and continue to pass the heritage down with the strengths we've discovered. Throughout the search we find that the natural lineage is more tainted than we imagined and the facts become overwhelming.

We can't go from father to father and bloodline to bloodline trying to figure how any roots of righteousness could have originated from there. We have been birthed by the Holy Ghost. The Lord wants us to know that we are all from a tainted bloodline as gentiles and have been since the days of Adam. It doesn't matter who the fathers are or who the mothers are because Christ has established a new bloodline of righteousness with His blood. Christ is the originator of this bloodline and all those who believe on His name are adopted and grafted in. Therein lies the blood transfusion for those with an issue of blood.

With the new covenant, the priesthood is no longer established by natural paternity but we have been hand picked by christ as the apple of His eye, foreknown and predestined for times such as these. when Jesus walked the earth he simply utlized His authority and said, "follow me", and they all were his who followed and none were plucked from His hand.

John 10:28-29

AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH, NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND.
MY FATHER, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL, AND NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY FATHER'S HAND.

So no matter what we discover in the natural sense; we have discovered a tree, Hs tree, the tree of life and there has Christ established hiss lineage of holiness and righteousness forever.

​I HAVE MADE YOU WHOLE

EZEKIEL 36:25-28

THEN WILL I SPRINKLE CLEAN WATE R UPON YOU, AND YE SHALL BE CLEAN: FROM ALL YOUR FILTHINESS, AND FROM ALL YOUR IDOLS, WILL I CLEANSE YOU.

A NEW HEART ALSO WILL I GIVE YOU, AND A NEW SPIRIT WILL I PUT WITHIN YOU: AND I WILL TAKE AWAY THE STONEY HEART OUT OF YOUR FLESH, AND I WILL GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH.

AND I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU, AND CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND YE SHALL KEEP MY JUDGMENTS AND DO THEM.

AND YE SHALL DWELL IN THE LAND THAT I GAVE TO YOUR FATHERS, AND YE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD.

REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDINGLY GLAD! LET JOY BE RESTORED UNTO YOU. THE LORD SHALL DO BETTER UNTO YOU THAN IN YOUR BEGINNING. TAKE COMFORT IN HIS SPIRIT AND CONTINUE TO GO HIGHER HEIGHTS AND DEEPER DEPTHS IN HIM. NEW THINGS HAS HE DECLARED OVER YOUR LIFE. HE IS THE LORD YOUR GOD AND HE WILL DO IT

​I’M STILL HERE

Restoration is here. Healing is here. Deliverance is here. I’ve always been here with my hands stretched out still says the Lord. You may resist but my hand is stretched out still. I will never leave you or forsake you. I’m available to you. All things are given by my Spirit. You have everything you need in me. I’m here and I love you more than you can comprehend. I will strengthen your hands. Find your strength in me.

JEREMIAH 31:3 &9

THE LORD HATH APPEARED OF OLD UNTO ME, SAYING, YE, I HAVE LOVED THEE WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE. THEREFORE WITH LOVING KINDNESS HAVE I DRAWN THEE.

THEY SHALL COME WITH WEEPING, AND WITH SUPPLICATIONS I WILL LEAD THEM: I WILL CAUSE THEM TO WALK BY THE RIVERS OF WATERS IN A STRAIGHT WAY, WHEREIN THEY SHALL NOT STUMBLE; FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.

​A REASON BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION

MARK 12:28-30
AND ONE OF THE SCRIBES CAME. AND HAVING HEARD THEM REASONING TOGETHER, AND PERCEIVING THAT HE HAD ANSWERED THEM WELL, ASKED HIM, WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT OF ALL?

AND JESUS ANSWERED HIM, THE FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS IS, HEAR, O ISRAEL; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD:

AND THOUS SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART,A ND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT.

Not everything that we see with our eyes or hear with our ears will we understand the rightful purpose right away. God is not a logical God. Meaning His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Most often, we get instructions that don’t make sense or we may see or experience things that don’t make natural sense to us. Our natural minds want to make things rational hoping to gather understanding and eventually determine a sense of right or wrong.
However, the Lord’s ways are past finding out. We cannot lean toward our own understanding. In the above scripture, the people came and tried to reason among themselves and immediately Jesus followed up with the most important reasoning, if there be a reasoning at all. That reasoning is to love thy God with all thy being. And if this be the case then we will trust, hear, and obey. So then we obey with our heart, we obey with our soul, we obey with our mind, and we obey with our God-given strength. Likewise with our trust. In this we gain an understanding of the power of God and His authority. Then the Kingdom of God will begin to manifest upon you. 
Flesh makes reasons not to obey, but the true toward God with all of our being gives us the authority to cast out the reasoning and the vain imaginations that would exalt themselves above the true knowledge of God.

Mark 12:34
And when Jesus saw that He answered discreetly, he said unto Him, thou art not far form the Kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask Him any question.

​WATCH AND PRAY

NEHEMIAH 4:9

NEVERTHELESS WE MADE OUR PRAYER UNTO OUR GOD, AND SET WATCH AGAINST THEM DAY AND NIGHT, BECAUSE OF THEM.

JEREMIAH 20:10
FOR I HAVE HEARD THE DEFAMING OF MANY, FEAR ON EVERY SIDE. REPORT , SAY THEY, AND WE WILL REPORT IT. ALL MY FAMILIARS WATCHED FOR MY HALTING, SAYING, PERADVENTURE HE WILL BE ENTICED, AND WE SHALL PREVAIL AGAINST HIM, ANS WE SHALL TAKE OUR REVENGE ON HIM.

CONTINUE TO WATCH AND PRAY, NIGHT AND DAY. FOR THE ENEMY IS RELENTLESS AND PATIENTLY WAITING FOR AN ENTRANCE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ENTICEMENT AND REVENGE. THE LORD IS WATCHING OVER YOU AND HAS SET LIERS IN WAIT ON YOUR BEHALF. CONTINUE TO BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE. YOU SHALL REAP IF YOU FAINT NOT. HOLD ON TO GOD’S UNCHANGING HAND. HE IS THERE WITH YOU.

​NO ENEMY LEFT BEHIND

JUDGES 2:2-4

AND YE SHALL MAKE NO LEAGUE WITH THE INHABITANTS OF THIS LAND; YE SHALL THROW DOWN THEIR ALTERS: BUT YE HAVE NOT OBEYED MY VOICE: WHY HAVE YE DONE THIS?

WHEREFORE I ALSO SAID, I WILL NOT DRIVE THEM OUT FROM BEFORE YOU; BUT THEY SHALL BE AS THORNS IN YOUR SIDES, AND THEIR GODS SHALL BE A SNARE UNTO YOU.

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SPAKE THESE WORDS UNTO ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, THAT THE PEOPLE LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE AND WEPT.

 There was an instruction give by the Lord to the children before they went up to battle. They were told to slew the inhabitants of the land and to utterly destroy them and drive them out form among them. They were not to make a league with them or to dwell among them. It was said that if they were allowed to remain that they would be thorns in your side and their gods would be a snare.

Your enemies are among you and desire an entrance. They desire to take part in your inheritance. Remember, this is YOUR inheritance! What the Lord has for you, it is for you and no one else. If you don’t utterly drive out and destroy they will continue to frustrate and attempt to sabotage your purpose. We are not speaking of any natural person, for you know that we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Howbeit, your enemies have sent out demonic forces to dwell among you with intent to inhabit with you.
You must be obedient and lift up a standard of praise just as the children were instructed to do when they were told to encompass the city of Jericho seven times and praise until the walls and the enemies of the city were destroyed. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God lifts up a standard (Isaiah 59:19). Bind the enemy with the keys Christ gave you. Lay aside every weight and every care and content for the faith. Be an effective gatekeeper, keeping out what’s supposed to be out and letting in what’s supposed to be in. Holy Ghost in…righteousness in….faith in… joy in…peace in…patience in…depression out…bitterness out…frustration out…agitation out…anxiety out. Got it? #stayonthwall #youhavethepower #youhavethesuthority #youhavethekeys

God keep you

​DON’T COME DOWN

SO THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN LAID. OLD THINGS HAVE BEEN PASSED AWAY. YESTERDAY IS GONE AND THE COUNSEL OF THE NAY SAYERS WILL COME TO NOTHING.

NEHEMIAH 6:3

AND I SENT MESSENGERS UNTO THEM, SAYING, I AM DOING A GREAT WORK, SO THAT I CANNOT COME DOWN: WHY SHOULD THE WORK CEASE, WHILST I LEAVE IT AND COME DOWN TO YOU?

THOUGH THE ADVERSARIES AND THE REST OF OUR ENEMIES SEE THAT WE CONTINUE TO BUILD AND DO THE WORKS OF THE LORD,THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN ON OCCASION BUT REGARDLESS, WE DON’T TAKE DOWN. WE STAY ON THAT WALL WITH AN OBEDIENT SPIRIT UNTIL THE WORK IS FINISHED.

NEHEMIAH 4:17

THEY WHICH BUILDED ON THE WALL.AND THEY THAT BARE BURDENS, WITH THOSE THAT LADED, EVERY ONE WITH ONE OF HIS HANDS WROUGHT IN THE WORK, AND WITH THE OTHER HAND HELD A WEAPON.

PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR BRETHREN WHILE ALSO IMPLEMENTING THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF CHRIST. BUILD WITH ONE HAND AND KEEP YOUR WEAPONS IN THE OTHER. CONTINUE TO DO THAT WHICH IS GOOD FOR WE KNOW THAT RULERS ARE NOT A TERROR TO GOOD WORKS, BUT THAT OF EVIL. THE LORD IS WITH YOU AND HIS SPIRIT REMAINS WITH YOU. #STAYONTHE WALL

​FRUSTRATION OF PURPOSE AND….SABOTAGE

EZRA 4:1-5

NOW WHEN THE ADVERSARIES OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN HEARD THAT THE CHILDREN OF THE CAPTIVITY BUILDED THE TEMPLE UNTO THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL;
THEN THEY CAME TO ZERUBBABEL, AND TO THE CHIEF OF THE FATHERS, AND SAID UNTO THEM, LET US BUILD WITH YOU: FOR WE SEEK YOUR GOD, AS YE DO; AND WE DO SACRIFICE UNTO HIM SINCE THE DAYS OF ESARHADDON KING OF ASSUR, WHICH BROUGHT US UP HITHER.
BUT ZERUBBABEL, AND JESHUA , AND THE REST OF THE CHIEF OF THE FATHERS OF ISRAEL, SAID UNTO THEM, YE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH US TO BUILD THE HOUSE UNTO OUR GOD;BUT WE OURSELVES TOGETHER WILL BUILD UNTO THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, AS KING CYRUS THE KING OF PERSIA HATH COMMANDED US.
THEN THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND WEAKENED THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH, AND TROUBLED THEM IN BUILDING,
AND HIRED COUNSELORS AGAINST THEM, TO FRUSTRATE THEIR PURPOSE, ALL THE DAYS OF CYRUS KING OF PERSIA, EVEN UNTIL THE REIGN OF DARIUS KING OF PERSIA.

So the adversaries of the children of God came to them desiring to help them build. They had a desire to go behind the scenes and destroy and sabotage the works from within. However, the chiefs of the fathers and Zerubbabel denied their request stating that they had nothing to do with their mission to build which the Lord commanded.

Because they were denied access they made it a mission among themselves to weaken the hands of the people and frustrate their purpose. They began to go from counselor to counselor and ruler to ruler (also see Nehemiah) with false witness against the children of God intending to bring their construction to a halt.

The adversaries had no knowledge of God and did not recognize his authority. There came a point where the children were made to cease by force and power. Howbeit, even that temporary delay was according to the authority of the Most High who is the author of all time and whose own will for the construction of the new temple was right on time and according to His heavenly schedule.
When you’re obedient to Christ and continue to follow His orders; there is no ruler, counselor, power, or dignitary (foreign or domestic) that can manipulate, control, or sabotage the works of the Most High. It is all about who you know…and you know Christ, His power, and His authority. So continue in that authority knowing that all things work together for the good for those who are called according to His purpose. #keepbuilding

​PHILEMON 10

I BESEECH THEE FOR MY SON ONESIMUS, WHOM I HAVE BEGOTTEN IN MY BONDS:
WHICH IN TIME PAST WAS TO THEE UNPROFITABLE, BUT NOW PROFITABLE TO THEE AND TO ME:
WHOM I HAVE SENT AGAIN: THOU THEREFORE RECEIVE HIM, THAT IS, MINE OWN BOWELS.

I’ve heard the saying “it’s not what you know, but it’s who you know.” well, thank God for Jesus! Let assurance be given to you knowing that the Lord is backing you. He is on your side. If God be for you, who can be against you?

When Paul wrote this letter he was old and yet still a prisoner for Christ. Though He started out on the wrong path as a murderer, through Christ He made a complete transformation and He established a new reputation among the people, not as one that persecutes but as a true disciple and Apostle. He was found faithful and His word was bond. He taught his spiritual son Onesimus though he was sent out one time before, the first time he made mistakes, He returned for Paul’s teaching and precepts of the Most High and he received the backing he needed, being sent again backed by the power and the authority of the Most High.

“Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.”

You know Jesus and if He says it then its so. Thank God for His teaching, second chances, and His backing. Now use it to build. #unity #obedience #kingdom building
